Loving Vincent marks the world’s first fully painted feature film; a biopic of Vincent van Gogh’s life crafted out of an incredible 65,000 oil paintings on canvas, equating to around 12 paintings per second, individually produced by a team of 125 painters.
Loving Vincent will hit UK cinemas 13 October, with a film premiere plus Q&A with special guests broadcast live from the National Gallery on 9 October.
Written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, the film delves into van Gogh’s tragic death; on 27 July, 1890, he shot himself in the chest.
The film was first shot as a live action film with the actors, before each frame was hand-painted over.
